What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[moontheloon]

Got to go to Japan, they seem to have most of our hats there.

I collect vintage drums as well and they are all over there

if Don Bennett or Bun E. Carlos doesn't have it ... it's in Japan

had a discussion with the guy at the store yesterday about this very topic ... he said it's everything ... cowboy boots, hats, etc etc

! That Barclay is a looker, is the ribbon original? Love the color.

Thank you. Yes, the exterior is original, the interior (sweat, lining) are parts obtained from Scott, the reblocking and reconstruction are by Fruno.

Really late to the part today. Maybe someone will see it in the morning. Doing Deacon duties at church this morning, gave me a chance to dress a little less schlub like. Navy Gannon got some crease tweaking and a much needed brush. Do love this hat, I don't need to "dress" for it, should bring it out more often.

Thanks Red. And great looking Gannon yesterday and today's Mossant is super too.

Dobbs Hanover Square.

The lighting in my office is horrible in general, and for pictures especially. I tried a flash on this one.

I like the looks of the Hanover Square. Nice to see one on someone else's head, because I've become sort of immune to knowing what a hat looks like on my own head. I'll probably be wearing mine tomorrow.

I love the contrast on this one, Jim. Super cool.

Thanks, Doug! It's wonderful felt, too soft as a cloud.

What's up Doc (-:

Ominous figure with the substantial hat and coat

Thanks, love your and @Daniele Tanto's Mossants.

Fantastic profile on this one,

Thanks, no idea why the back brim was down except I had recently been carrying two schoolbags.

Stetson Royal Deluxe this morning

nice. Did you steal @steur's nice coat?

 

[hatophile]

That is a beautiful Stetson! The crease looks so good! The style of that one fits you very well.

Ha ha, no. But it was made in France which may be closer to he than me. If I were going to steal something steur's I'm pretty sure it would be a hat, or five, since he seems about the same size as me.

Thanks,
Michael

Glad you're feeling better, looks like you're back to your old selfie.

Bubbler jukeboxes, vintage pool cues & most everything vintage sports related.

How and why? They seem to have most of our vintage Americana. I saw some dead stock USMC Boondockers there, impossible to find in the States.

As far as I knew, I thought you had a connection there in Japan with all the amazing hats you have. Nice boxes, I have one Stratoliner box.

they are apparently obsessed with American culture

someone once told me that there are more Country & Western clubs in Tokyo alone than in the entire United States

Most of the old, quality band instruments are there. Drives up the price of the 50s-60s Selmer Mark VI alto and tenor saxophones exponentially.

Next batch of catch up comments. I missed some great hats during the day. Liked em all. I was busy fact checking an article in our OSU Barometer Newspaper I was interviewed for this morning. Student reporters have to use their weekends for putting the paper to bed. They wanted to know about the history of our "Civil War Game" between OSU and the U of O. It is the oldest rivalry on the west coast, running 121 years.



Great color combo with that Great Coat. The later post with the details of this one make me droooooool!


Super finds, pity the hat pickings were not stellar. I am posting a question in a while about a weird Strat box I found on Ebay, the bottom one looks similar.


That is one fancy Knox sir! Love the sweat a whole bunch.


You rock Stefan!! Love everything about your collection.


Love the back belt and those prominent pockets. The color is money! What a find!


Justin, you are the vintage maven! The lines are so Roaring 20s, gangster (not to be confused with "gangsta", stupid use of the word), and that sweat!! They really knew how to make them back then.


I really love the color on that Strat Samuel. It would be such a versatile color. Cooool.


Great looking IV Bob. I think the Moonstone is my favorite color that Akubra makes.


The Champ is so great Doug. It just screams 40s/50s, all the bells and whistles.


Great image of some happy people, makes me happy too.


That Huckel has such great lines and color. Is the liner fancy too, seems like they really make the innards as nice as the outsides.

Mike, thanks! That Gannon tou wore today looks like a stately hat. I agree: you should wear it more.

Well I was stationed there and during that time Western was huge, which included Texas raised beef and American Whiskey. In fact I paid my sensei with Johnny Walker Red for instruction.

However, lately on instigaran some of the most lovey fedoras like Whippets, hard to find 30's, 40's and 50's felt hats are on Japanese sites. I'm so envious!

What a stunning hat! The proportions, the color, the bow! All great!
